History is the process used to evaluate what was significant about selected events, people, and developments in the past. Historians use different sets of criteria to help them make judgments about significance. Significance has been called the forgotten concept in history, no doubt because it can be challenging for both teacher and students.

The study of history provides critical knowledge of the institutions and values of the world in which we live. An understanding of the past can influence one’s ability to respond intelligently and effectively to the problems of the future. To make history, you must know your history.

The study of history is important because it allows one to make more sense of the current world. One can look at past economic and cultural trends and be able to offer reasonable predictions of what will happen next in today's world. One can also understand why some rules exist in the modern world.
